(NEA) Marty Martin Says He Has Hopes For Sox By LEO It. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor TAMPA, Fla. 'lPl—Marty Maron, although admitting there are a few if’s l)ere and there,” thinks his Chicago White Sox could go all the way. He bases that opinion on the contention that he acquired a stronger bench and more hitting power "without giving up anyone we needed.” But most baseball men feel that unless he comes up with at least a hard-hitting left handed outfielder, the White Sox won't have power enough to win the American League pennant. Marion points to the aldition of' three men as grounds for thinking his club will have more power. They are big Walt Dropo, the first baseman obtained from the Tigers; catcher Clint Courtney, acquired from the Orioles, and outfielder Bob Nieman, who also came from the Tigers. DROPO MUST HIT Dropo will have to hit or lose his first base job to the veteran Phil Cavarretta or Ron Jackson, the bonus baby who hit .280 last season. Nellie Fox and Chico Carrasquel are fixtures at second and short, and George Kelly will win the third base job if he recovers from the injuries which sidelined him the end of last season. Bill Serena, purchased from the Cubs, will take over third if Kell can’t make it, with Jim Bride weser sure of an infied utility job. Rookies Stan Jok and Joe Kirrene, who hit .343 at Colorado Springs last season are other infield can didates. As his big five of the pitching staff, Marion has southpaws Billy Pierce, 9-10, anl Jack Harshman 14-8, and right-handers Virgil Trucks 19-12, Sandy Consuegra 16-9. Harry Dorish 6-4 will be the No. 1 fireman with Bob Chakales, 5-7 with Baltimore last season, and teh veteran A1 Brazle, who won five and lost four with the Car dinals, also ticketed for bullpen duty. GRAY MAY START Another possible starter is Ted Gray, a Tiger castoff who won only three while losing five for Detroit last season. Dick Donovan, an 18- game winner wfth Atlanta; Mike Fornieles, back for another try after winning seven at Charleston in 1954; Connie Johnson who won ATTENTION All Paint And Body Shops r Hornets almost a clinch to clinch i the “A” series, while the “B” series finds the Buffalo Bisons and Cle veland Barons all tied up with a victory apiece.
